Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 27, 1909.

Patented June '7, 1910.

Serial No. 524,978.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES P. MARSHALL, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Centralia, in the county of Marion and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPaper-Holders, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a paper holder and more particularly to anarrangement thereof which enables it to be extended or in flat orknock-down position for shipping purposes and which provides a cheap andefficient bracket.

The invention consists in the matters hereinafter set forth and moreparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a holder embodyingfeatures of the invention in a partially open position; and Fig. 2 is aview of the hinge end of a roll arm, showing the locking arm beyond.

Referring to the drawings, a substantially rectangular base plate 1,preferably of sheet metal, is hinged at each end to a pair of arms 2which may be turned forward at right angles to the face of the base. Asuitable hinge 3 is formed on the outer end of one of the arms and aroll arm 4 is attached thereto. Preferably the roll arm is a sheet metalstrip having a tongue 5 extending from one end as a member of the hinge3 and at the other end, a downturned arm 6 with notched end adapted toengage a suitable spring lock 7 on the end of the opposite bracket arm.The body of the strip t is bent into a cylinder with its edges inabutting relation. End washers indicated at 8 may be added if desired.

As a preferable detail of construction the hinges at the end of the baseplate are formed of a pair of inrolled lugs 9 between which a bracketlug 10 is secured on a hinge pin 11. By this construction a cheap paperroll holder is obtained which may be extended or turned into a flatposition for shipping.

Obviously, changes in details of construction, may be made withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention and I do not care to limitmyself to any particular form or arrangement of parts.

What I claim as my invention is:

l. A paper holder comprising a substantially rectangular base, a pair ofbracket arms each hinged to the ends of the base to fold flat therewithand to extend forward at right angles thereto, a roll arm consisting ofa sheet metal strip folded to form a cylinder and provided at one endwith an ear forming a hinge member pivoted to mating hinge members onthe extremity of one of the arms and provided at the other end with aninturned arm adapted to interlock with the outer extremity of theopposite bracket arm.

2. A paper holder consisting of a base plate having end lugs inrolled ashinge members, a pair of oppositely disposed bracket arms each providedat its inner end with an inrolled lug forming a mating hinge member tothe inrolled base lug, a spring lock on the extremity of one arm, a pairof inrolled lugs forming hinge members on the outer extremity of theother arm, and a roll arm consisting of a sheet met-a1 strip bentbetween its margins into a cylinder and provided at one end with alongitudinally inrolled ear forming a hinge member mating with thebracket arms hinge members and at the other with an inturned arm adaptedto engage the spring look.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES P. MARSH ALL.
